Dance USA Question

Question

In this much more expensive world of dance training, lack of part-time sustainable jobs, little to no low-income housing, low scholarships and high loan debt, how do prospective dancers become a part of a company? How can they finance training for a specific style, genre, company, or choreographer while also fulfilling personal obligations? In the time before a contact is even given, how do dancers survive? And, even if a contact is given, if it is part-time, or per project, how do dancers sustain themselves and plan for their financial future?

dream

I have a dream.
That one day we can talk about ‪#‎racism‬ openly and with compassion.
That we could look at business, education, policy, law, and any system and openly state: "this is racist. This seems to be built on old racist ideas, let's change this" -- and the rest will say -- "I agree, this irrationally oppresses a group and supports white supremacy, let's change this for the better and work for a more perfect union and collaborative country" .... Without the fighting, killing, and ‪#‎WhiteFeelings‬....

I dream of a day when racism can be discussed freely, without fear...

It is possible, I know it. Because that is freedom!
